Did you know that right now, as you read this, there are dead skin cells just hanging out on your face? It sounds gross (because it kind of is), but it’s also a fact of life. Your skin regenerates every 28 days, so its cells are constantly dying off and getting pushed to the surface. The bad news is that even though they’re supposed to fall off naturally, they can often stick around, which leads to dull, flaky skin, clogged pores, blackheads and more. The good news is that you can help this process along with an exfoliator.

Just like washing your face to get rid of the dirt and grime that can build up, exfoliating removes the dead skin cells that get caught on the surface of your skin. The result is a clearer, smoother, and brighter complexion. And you don’t even have to do it every day! Most men only need to exfoliate about twice a week. There are a few different kinds of exfoliators, but the easiest to use is a scrub.

Face scrubs use mechanical exfoliation, meaning they use friction to physically remove the dead skin cells from your face. Use one twice a week before you shave to help release and prevent ingrown hairs. Just proceed with caution. Don’t rub or scrub too hard as too much pressure could damage your skin. If you see redness, irritation, or scratches after you exfoliate, that’s a sign you were too aggressive. And always follow your scrub with a moisturizer to help replenish moisture that may have been lost in the process and build your skin barrier back up.

There are hundreds (thousands, maybe) of scrubs out there, but start with these 10 best face scrubs for men and you’re on your way to a smoother, clearer face.
